~, She Oshawa Zimes [ . Published by Canadian Newspapers Limited 86 King St. E., Oshawa, Ontario FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1961 -- PAGE 6 Monster Bomb Should Arouse Anger Not Fear Khrushchev's announcement of the forthcoming explosion of a 50-megaton bomb (equivalent to the explosive force of 50 million tons of TNT) has naturally aroused great anger and concern around thre world. Prime Minister Diefenbaker quite properly described it as a "crime against humanity." The fallout from this monstrous ex- plosion in the atmosphere will girdle the earth -- fallout that will continue for years to come. In this immediate and urgent sense, the testing of such a weapon is a crime against humanity. It is also a crime of aggression. By polluting the air over other nations, the Soviet Union is committing deliberate aggression, as overt as if guns were fired across a frontier.And it is a crime of aggression in another sense: It is de- signed to impose fear on people, which is an invasion of the very being of the individual. There is no reason, of course, why anyone should be more afraid of a 50- megaton bomb than of a 10-megaton bomb. From a military standpoint -- and any civil defence attitude that does not take into account the technical use of offensive weapons is a manifest absur- dity--the bigger bomb is a questionable bit of hardware. The huge cannon, Big Bertha, caused something of a com- motion at one stage of the First World War, but it had not the slightest effect on the result or the conduct of that war; at most, it raised the morale of some Germans. In a nuclear war, a 50-mega- ton bomb would not make that much difterence. There is no reason, then, why anyone should be more terrified of one bomb than the other. Terror is what Khrush- chev wants. It is the only reason why he has advertised the 50-megaton test. He hopes that the mere thought of it will make the West cringe. What it should arouse is not terror but anger -- anger that this brutal man in the Kremlin should hold humanity in such low esteem as to gloat about the prospect of polluting the world's air *with radioactive debris. Plan Standard Sizes Parents will welcome word of the creation of a standardized system of children's clothing established under the National Trade Mark Gar- ment Sizing Regulations, enacted last March. The need for standardizing clothing sizes has been recognized for many years. Manufacturers, retailers and consumers all agree that a lack of uniformity in.the sizes of wearing ap- parel has led to much needless confusion and wasted effort. Consumers have frequently complained about their in- ability to find clothes that will fit. The difficulty was largely one of differing methods of labelling sizes. This becomes apparent when a person changed "brands" and discovered that the same size designation could have varying interpretations among different manufacturers. A special committee spent several years on this problem and has produced three sizing systems for children's clothing. New sizing systems were particularly needed in children's wear, as the method in current use evolved over the years more or less by trial and error. In chil- dren's clothing size was originally re- lated to age, and manufacturers use to sizes, speak of the "average five-year-old" or the "average eight-year-old." The wide differences in size which can, and often do exist between children of the same age make it obvious that the traditional system is unsatisfactory. The new systems contain more than 30 sizes and provide a reasonable fit for 85 to 90 per cent of the child popu- lation. They are intended to include all boys and girls from walking age to high school graduation. The sizing system created for chil- dren's clothing are relatively simple. Two, or in some cases three, boy measurements, at which the fit of the garments is important, are used to designate size. In the case of a boy's pyjamas, for example, fitted by the chest-hip system, the measurements are chest girth and hip girth. A letter is used to designate chest measurement and a number to indicate hip measurement. Thus the size may be 20B, 22A, 22B etc. Other systems are waist-hip and neck- arm. Adoption of the new systems by manufacturers and retailers is entirely voluntary and each garment will carry a symbol. It is expected that they will appear on the market by the end of 1961. Our Trivial Worries Is worry getting you down? If so, we might consider what Rev. A. C. Carmichael of the Dewitt Com- munity Church in Syracuse, New York, has to say about our worrying. The New York minister has come to the conclusion that the average man spends 40 per cent of his time worrying about things that will never happen; 30 per cent about things that have al- seady happened and 10 per cent in unnecessary worries about his health, while another 12 per cent goes into worrying about what someone is going to think about him. In spending a total of 92 per cent of his time worfying about these things, the average man has only eight per cent ot his time remaining to think about the The Oshawa Times T.

Mr. Carmichael is no doubt right when he says if we worried less about trivialities, that we would have more time to devote toward making a positive contribution to the preservation and the betterment of the free world and would perhaps experience more happiness in our own daily life. ~ Other Editors' Views SLUM PROFITS (Buffalo Evening News) A non-profit foundation has been formed in New York City to persuade investors to buy and improve slum tene- ments. The foundation would operate the property for the investors, and hope to pay them eight per cent to 10 per cent profits. Profits of 15 per cent to 25 per cent are now made on many unimproved slum tenements in New York. Bible Thought The Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him Where art thou?--Gen- esis 3:9.

ING You'D TO GIVE | DO IT THE UNITED WAY QUEEN'S PARK Leadership Race Remains Question By DON 0'HEARN TORONTO--There is surpris- ingly little speculation about this leadership contest. Normally by now, the papers would be full of opinions and forecasts on the race. But you don't see them. And the reason is that with seven candidates in the field and at least five of them meriting serious consideration, nobody has too much of an idea of just who really is ahead. And this include the writer. Frankly he has no real convic- tions as yet who really is ahead. He does have the feeling that Energy Minister Macauley has put on the most effective cam- paign and that of Education Min- ister Robarts has been the poor- est That Treasurer Jim Allan must be looked on as the man to beat, and that Attorney-Gen- eral Roberts may get a respect- able vote on the first ballot but will lose from there. But these feelings are based on nothing concrete, merely ob- servation and whatever sixth sense one picks up over the years about politics. One veteran cabinet minister, not in the race himself has vol- unteered an opinion, however, and this is the way he sizes it up. Mr. Allan, he feels, will lead on the first ballot. Behind him will be either Mr. Macaulay or Mr. Roberts in second place. And following them Mr. Robarts, Health Min- ister Dymond and Rev. Mr. Downer in that order. He does not expect Reform In- Stitutions Minister Wardrope to actually get to the wire. INSIDE YOU Stretching, Cast To Correct Foot By BURTON H. FERN, MD Billy was born with a club- foot. The right foot was bent down with its sole turned under. He'd have to walk on its outer edge! Billy's trouble started with crowded living conditions before birth. With his feet crossed, the top of the right foot was wedged hard against his left leg. At the ankle, the foot can bend up and down like a board fastened to a hinge. The sole can turn in or out like the bot- tom of a cradle. Billy's foot was pushed down with its sole turned in. His foot might have been bent up with "the sole turned outwards. Any combination is possible. ATTEMPTED CORRECTION Mom used tc stretch his an- kle 20 times twice a day. She'd bend the foot upwards, twisting the sole out -- but never hard enough to make Billy cry. But stretching wasn't enough. The doctor had to wrap Billy's foot in a plaster cast to hold it straight. Each week he'd re- move the cast, stretch the ankle a little more, then put on a new cast. This treatment straightened Billy's foot within a few months, To keep it from dropping back into old habits, Billy had to sleep wearing special shoes bolt- ed to a meta! bar. He didn't mind! FURTHER TREATMENT The gadget stretched his an- kle moré than necessary. To straighten a green twig, you have to bend it all the way back. Later, the sole of Billy's right shoe had to be built up along the outer edge. He doesn't need this lift any more. -- Today, you can see his fancy footwork blocks away from the local football stadium any Satur- day afternoon. He's the one who kicks the ball high between the goal posts -- and with his right foot, too! BY-GONE DAYS 35 YEARS AGO Robert Henderson was pre- sented with the Oshawa Golf Club championship trophy for 1926. Over $41,000 was subscribed to date in the campaign to raise $50,000 for extension of the Oshawa General Hospital. ° Oliver Hezzelwood gave an impressive address of the Lea- gue of Nations in Simcoe Street United Church. Mrs. A. J. Stalter was elect- ed treasurer at the Ontario con- vention of the WCTU in Hamil- ton. At the annual meeting of St. George's Anglican Young Peo- ple's Association, R. Terrett was elected presidént, E. Rich- ardson, treasurer and Miss I. Burr, secretary. Approximately 125 enrolled for the 1926-27 sea- son The Ontario Hydro Commis- sion agreed to install electric street lights in Lakeview Gar- dens and also on Bloor street east. J. E. Carruthers won the Osh- awa Tennis Club championship and the G. D. Conant Trophy for 1926. Rev. Joseph Hanley, District- Governor of the Rotary Club, gave an inspiring address at the Rotary luncheon, describ: ing the history of the club and showed that Rotary was found- ed on the Golden Rule. The speaker was introduced by the Club President E. A. Lovell. A change of managership took place in the Oshawa Branch of Steel's Consolidated Ltd., when T. W. Mutter was transferred to the Ottawa Branch and P. R. Vallencourt of Montreal became the new manager. T. P. Johns was the winner of. the Swanson singles at the closing tournament of the Osh- awa Lawn Bowling Club and J. H. Domelle was the runner- up, W, Gordon Bunker officiated as chairman of the Oshawa and district lodges at,a social event to honor Grand Master G. 0. Luke, a former Oshawa boy, on the occasion of his official visit here. Local stores advertised orange pekoe tea at 75 cents a pound, coffee, 57 cents a pound, butter, 35 cents a pound and eggs at 45 cents per dozen. In the end, however, he sees Mr. Macaulay and Mr. Robarts fighting it out. This observer can't follow through to this point. More like- ly he feels, the last vote would show Mr. Allan fighting it out with one of the younger men. NOT TO WIRE Mr. Wardrope probably won't get to the wire. His candidacy hasn't been taken seriously. It is assumed that by putting his name in he is just striking one more blow for his b e 1 0 v e d northwestern On- tario. Letting the province know that it also can produce leadership material. {t is a shame in a way that the convention can't somehow or other pay a tribute to Mr. Ward- rope. For. if the leadership were to be decided just on the basis of popularity there would be no question who would be the win- ner. He would take it hands down. It is not often in politics or any other field of endeavor that you run into a man who is all heart. But Mr. Wardrope is. And everybody here admires him for it. DARING YOUTH LONDON (CP) -- Blackjack ranked fourth and poker sixth among card games popular among young children, says a recent survey conducted by a playing-card manufacturer. OTTAWA REPORT Cabinet Divided On Trade System By PATRICK NICHOLSON OTTAWA -- A sharp disagree- ment on major economic policy has suddenly shown up within e cabinet. Dominant up to now has been the restrictionist school of eco- nomic thought, which would keep us blinkered so that our eyes cannot roam to the enticing pros- pects of the brave new economic world blossoming around us. But now we suddenly learn that the cabinet contains expansionist vis- ionaries, who foresee that these developments will leave us stum- bling behind, if we continue to be guided by outgrown doctrine, Hon. George Hees, our min- ister of trade and commerce, se- lected the unlikely audience of the Kiwanis Clubs of Eastern Toronto to lift the curtain of cab- inet secrecy just enough to re- veal the telltale clue to this top- level disagreement. Remember that Trade Min- ister Hees last month chided Britain at the Accra Conference for contemplating joining the Eu- ropean Common Market. What a different song he sang last week in Toronto, when he hinted that' Canada might join in a free trade association--not just of the six Common Market nations, but of "'the countries of Western Eu- rope, Britain, the U.S. and Can- ada". The potentialities in Can- ada joining, he said, are being very carefully studied in Ottawa. MUST BE SURE "Canada would not wish to en- ter into an agreement which might seriously affect our eco- nomic structure and its related employment," he assured his au- dience, "unless we were sure that there would be a net. gain to us." How different this is from the earlier cry that Britain would wreck the Commonwealth if she joined the Common Market, and foresook her present impoverish- ment through charitable prefer- ence to ungrateful Common- wealth partners. That suggestion was described in Britain as '"'an- other piece of impudence from Fleming, the Canadian finance minister who drafted the Accra communique and whom indeed nobody loves." One musi understand the re- spective Fleming-Hees roles to appreciate the controversy. For REPORT FROM U.K. Tourist Business Maintains Pace By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) .. Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- This has been a good summer for Britain's tour- ist industry, in spite of a de- cline in the number of visitors from the United States, and in the amount of money spent by Americans who have come to this country. Sir Geoffrey Crow- ther, head of the Trust Houses, which has hotels and inns in all parts of the/country, makes the statement that business has been good and up to last year's record levels. A spokesman for that com- pany adds: "Our hotels are well booked up to the end of September and into October in some places. A number of American agency bookings were cancelled during the year, but these were large- ly made up by heavy American bookings." CRISIS BLAMED The Berlin crisis is cited as being the chief factor behind the fallirg-off in American visit- ors. That is the view of a spokesman for Associated Ho- tels, who said: "Except for American cancel- lations we have been doing very well. Business is. running at about last year's level, and at the moment we are heavily booked right up to the Motor Show." One group which has a num- ber of hotels in teading holiday resorts like Brighton, East bourne and Bournemouth 'is Spiers and Ponds. Its managing director, Cecil Mather, says: "We have been doing well, but business has not quite been up to last year's level. People do not seem to be spending quite so much money. On the other hand our hotels at Brigh- ton and Eastbourne have done better." A cheering word on the tour- ist business for 1961 comes from the British Travel and Holiday Association. It says: "If the present trend contin- ues, we should break even on the number of visitors from abroad, Even if there were no Berlin crisis, the big increase of 20 per cent last year in tour- ists from the United States pe hardly have been repeat- ed. BLAME KENNEDY To a large extent, the drop in tourists from the United States is blamed on the strictures of President Kennedy on the spending of dollars for holidays abroad. The drastic reduction made by the U.S. government in the value of goods allowed to be taken back to the United States free of duty has also been a restraining factor so far " tourist spending is concern- ed. _This has not applied to Cana- dian visitors, whose numbers have shown only a slight in- crease over the 75,000 register- controversy it certainly now is, although for months Hees has been loyally saying "'me too" to what his senior colleague, Flem- ing, declared. Our trade minister is, as he has made abundantly and suc- cessfully clear, a super-sales- man charged with creating an international economic climate in which our exporters can sell their goods overseas. Further, George Hees has already ex- celled his predecessors as trade minister in pitch - forking our Stay - at - home salesmen into overseas markets which -- to their surprise and profit--are waiting to welcome them. -- DOLLAR PROTECTOR Our finance minister on the other hand is charged with the responsibility of keeping our do- mestic economy in conditions as near to boom as possible. He is thu: the man whom we must thank for fighting inflation so successfully, for keeping taxes down, and for.finding the money to finance government deficits. In all these Donald Fleming, our hardest working minister after the prime minister, has done a praiseworthy job, But this job compels him to be the minister of non-importation to protect our manufacturing industries. Look how he cuts back imports from our good customer Japan, whilst George Hees is encouraging Red China to sell us goods so that it can afford to pay us for more wheat. But look too how Donald Flem- ing, as chairman of treasury board, has fought every extra dollar of our tax expenditure, especially in our heavy-spending defence department. Yet now he is faced with crippling bills and rising deficits through decisions to add 15,000 men to our active forces, to recruit 100,000 civil de- fence militiamen, to expand our winter works program. Is Canada to recognise that trade is a two-way flow? Will government spend an even higher portion of our national in- come for us? Is Canada about to examine the potentialities in a larger stronger grouping with pooled sovereignty? Which way the coin falls is a pretty exercise in speculation.
